Spinning His Wheels
Love's Lonely Dance: A Tale of Unseen Heartache
Lyrics
He didn't get home until ten
He arrived home late, until ten.
He was still hard at work even then
He was still working hard even at that late hour.
He didn't notice the change in her hair
He didn't notice changes in her hair.
Or the candles that burned everywhere
Candles were lit everywhere, but he didn't notice.
She went off to bed all alone
She went to bed alone.
He didn't notice she'd gone
He didn't realize she had left.
And it takes all her strength to hang on
She struggles to hold on emotionally.
She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
She observes him on the edge of a circle, spinning around.
They can't reach each other until he slows down
They can't connect until he slows down.
They can't find the center, how lonely that feels
They can't find the center, depicting loneliness.
She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
She's trapped in heartache while he's preoccupied.
He crawls into bed after two
He goes to bed at 2 AM.
With a head full of things he should do
His mind is filled with things he should do.
And he makes it quite clear with his kiss
His kiss indicates she's no longer a top priority.
She's no longer on top of his list
She feels neglected on his list.
There are times when she can't feel his love
There are times when she can't feel his love.
So she remembers the way that it was
She reminisces about how their love used to be.
And she'll hold on tight till he does
She holds on tight, hoping for his love to return.
She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
She's again on the edge, watching him spin.
They can't reach each other until he slows down
Connection is hindered until he slows down.
They can't find the center, how lonely that feels
Their inability to find the center intensifies loneliness.
She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
She remains in heartache as he remains preoccupied.
Oh, he's on a rise to the top
He's rising to the top, achieving success.
She won't ask him to stop
She won't ask him to stop, but wants acknowledgment.
Just please don't forget her
Asking not to be forgotten amidst his rise.
Oh, he's so blinded by pride
His pride blinds him to her presence.
She'd be right by his side
She would support him if he allowed her.
If he would just let her
She asks him to let her be by his side.
They can't find the center, how lonely that feels
Connection remains elusive, intensifying loneliness.
She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
She's trapped in heartache as he remains occupied.
She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
Reiterating her state of heartache while he's preoccupied.
